HashiCorp Nomad Tutorial: Build a 1 Server + 6 Client Cluster
Modern infrastructure requires a reliable workload scheduler that distributes applications across multiple machines.
While many organizations use Kubernetes, a simpler and highly scalable alternative is HashiCorp Nomad.
Nomad is widely used in production environments because it is lightweight, easy to operate, and capable of scheduling thousands of workloads with minimal overhead.
In this tutorial you will learn how to deploy a Nomad cluster with 1 server and 6 client nodes and run distributed workloads across the cluster.
Install GKE and EKS and Run a Sample Kubernetes Job
Modern cloud infrastructure relies heavily on container orchestration. Platforms such as Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) and Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) allow organizations to deploy scalable containerized applications without managing the Kubernetes control plane.
In this tutorial, we will:
- Install and configure Kubernetes clusters on GKE and EKS
- Configure kubectl access
- Deploy and run a sample Kubernetes job
- Verify workloads running on both clusters
This guide is designed for DevOps engineers, cloud architects, and developers who want hands-on experience running workloads on managed Kubernetes platforms.
